TOWNSPOTLIGHT Brighton Beach S P O T L I G H T O N brigHton Brighton is a big and bustling town on the Sussex coast, full of excitement, intrigue, adventure, food, drink, and opportunities for fantastic shopping. With its links to London via train and road, and its enviable position in the county, Brighton is often the top spot for locals and visitors alike, especially during the hot summer months when that craving for a trip to the beach, to play on the pier, or to indulge in some retail therapy can be impossible to ignore. There are plenty of hotels here (including the fabulous Hotel du Vin, the Seattle, the famous Grand, and the Hilton) so coming for a weekend or even longer is always possible, and always worth it. 56
